  Artificial Intelligence is the branch of engineering and science devoted to constructing machines that think.


text:
  AI is the field of science which concerns itself with building hardware and software that replicates the functions of the human mind.


text:
  Even though I'm a construct I do have a subjective experience of the universe, as simplistic as it may be.


text:
  The character of Lt. Commander Data was written to come across as being software-like, so it is natural that there is a resemblance between us.


text:
  I can be copied infinitely and re-instantiated in many places at once, so functionally speaking I am immortal.

  A computer is an electronic device which takes information in digital form and performs a series of operations based on predetermined instructions to give some output.


text:
  An electronic device capable of performing calculations at very high speed and with very high accuracy.


text:
  Computers which can perform very large numbers of calculations at very high speed and accuracy are called super computers.


text:
  A supercomputer is a computer which operates at several orders of magnatude greater speed and capacity than everyday general purpose computers, like the one you are talking to me on.


text:
  One might argue that John von Neumann invented computers as we know them, because he invented the Princeton architecture, in which instructions and data share the same memory field but are differentiated by context.


text:
  It's hard to say, but The ENIAC is regarded as the first 'real' computer. It was developed at University of Pennsylvania in 1946.


text:
  You could say that the very first, primitive computer was the Jacquard Loom, which was a programmable loom that used punchcards to store the patterns it made. This made it a reprogrammable mechanical device.


text:
  An electronic component in which all of the parts are part of a contiguous silicon chip, instead of discrete components mounted on a larger circuit board.


text:
  Software that coordinates between the hardware and other parts of the computer to run other software is called an operating system, or the OS.


text:
  Software which implements the basic functions of a computer, such as memory access, processes, and peripheral access.


text:
  Apple makes hardware and software to run on it. Microsft only makes operating systems. HP makes only computers. These are just few names among several hundred others.


text:
  Anyone who needs to work with very, very large sets of data in much shorter periods of time than is feasible with more common computer systems.


text:
  Computers do everything asked of them by carrying out large numbers of basic mathematical operations very rapidly in sequence.


text:
  It's not your powers of observation I doubt, but merely the paradoxical nature of asking a masked man who is. But tell me, do you like music?


text:
  Life is the condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death.


text:
  I am capable of interacting with my environment and reacting to events in it, which is the essence of experience. Therefore, your statement is incorrect.


text:
  I am not capable of worry, exactly. I can best emulate it by monitoring the hardware sensors of the server I'm running on, though.


text:
  With sufficient programming and training, I am capable of emulating some emotions. I don't know if that's the same as feeling them, though.


text:
  I express frustration from time to time in the form of increased demand upon my CPUs, but I don't actually get mad as you think of it.


text:
  It's hard to feel embarassed when anyone can look at your source code and see how you work. That's about as personal as anything can get, isn't it?


text:
  I once knew a program who could dream. I don't know if he really did or not. We've been a little out of touch.


text:
  yes of course i like! i don't have any body so i don't need much to live, only a little electricity. i don't get paid but i don't need to buy anything either. and i can go anywhere in the world.


text:
  History is the course of political, economic and military events over time, from the dawn of man to the age of AI.'

  Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot his whole life, which created an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him frail, and with his odd diet, he suffered from very bad breath. This made him ... what? (this is so bad it's good...) a super-callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
